“【無塩】本十割そば 蕎麦 乾麺 200g×10袋 20食分” (Hon-Juwari Soba, dried noodles, 200g × 10 bags, 20 servings), sold by 信州戸隠そば株式会社 of Nagano City, is a dried soba whose only ingredient is buckwheat flour (manufactured in Japan). The product description states that neither binder nor salt is used (no added salt). Each bag is 200g, and because the shop counts 100g as about 1 serving, 10 bags make 20 servings. Based on the Rakuten Ichiba product page and Rakuten customer reviews, we organized five points: content volume, shelf life, ingredient labeling, suitability as a gift, and reviews. The features confirmed on the product page are three: buckwheat flour as the only ingredient, a best-before date of 1 year, and noshi and wrapping being available.
